The story does get a little murky though once you take a look at eBizMBA's methodology. The research company took a whole bunch of freely available data and somehow mashed it together to rank video, Torrent and porn sites. The winner obviously is - wait - Metacafe?

"Which is more popular on the internet, Porn, File Sharing, or Video sites? We wanted to know so we choose to take a look at traffic data from the top 5 sites in their respective categories to determine the victor. (...) To insure a fair fight we decided to remove YouTube from the fray because of the obvious traffic advantage they get from being a part of Google Inc."

Riiiight. eBizMBA also ranks Playboy.com higher than The Pirate Bay, but slightly below Mininova. Of course one could argue that most Torrent sites have enough porn to make the distrinction between adult and video / Torrents obsolete.

And is it just me or does anyone else have a the weird feeling that those porn sites are picked very much at random? I for one have never even heard of Worldsex.com. But eBizMBA thinks they are more popular than The Pirate Bay ...
